Feature:
Love the meters. They really help you to see whats happening. The built in software mixer is also a huge help. I did a session with a four piece band and was able to send every musician a separate headphone mix. Kind of wish it had ADAT inputs but then again that’s what the other Firestudio is for.

Quality:
The knobs feel sturdy and I love how they are detented as well. The other nice touch is no wall wart. This unit looks amazing in my rack.

Value:
It’s simply the best interface that you can buy below an RME that costs twice as much (TRUST ME I’VE TRIED THEM ALL).

Desirability:
Great metering and it looks sexy in my rack.

Sound:
Very beefy sounding preamps. Not noisy like my old M Audio. I’m very happy with the sound I’m getting.

Ease of Use:
Installation took about 15 minutes. I have a PC (Pentium 4/3gHz) and it sync’d up in a few seconds and I was recording within 20 minutes.

Support:
I called Presonus because I was missing a serial number in my software bundle. They were very cool about it. I haven’t had any other reasons to call but they seemed to be easy to reach.

Overall:
I think my search for interfaces is done. This one is great.
